Drought is parching the world’s largest man-made lake, stripping Zambia of its electricity

Zambia is experiencing its worst electricity blackouts due to a severe drought affecting the Kariba Dam, which has insufficient water for hydroelectric power.

Carlos Lopes states that extreme weather patterns indicate that relying on hydroelectric power is no longer sustainable for Zambia.
